CASTROL® SYNTEC® POWER SYSTEM™ GIVES ENGINES 
A MUCH-NEEDED BOOST

CASTROL PROVIDES PROFESSIONALS WITH 
A WEAPON FOR COMBATTING DEPOSIT BUILD-UP


Wayne, NJ - June 1, 1999 -- Castrol® SYNTEC® POWER SYSTEM™, developed by 
Castrol North America's Automotive Division, provides automotive 
professionals with an opportunity to help ensure that their customers receive 
the ultimate in engine performance.  Castrol's premium fuel system treatment 
removes deposits throughout the entire fuel system and actually neutralizes 
them in the combustion chamber in just one dose.

Castrol SYNTEC POWER SYSTEM is formulated with unique synthetic cleansers 
that remove deposits from an engine's entire fuel system, including fuel 
injectors, carburetors, intake valves, intake manifolds, and fuel intake 
ports to neutralize power-robbing effects of combustion chamber deposits. 

Professionals in the automotive industry are now given the opportunity to 
increase customer satisfaction and their own bottom line.  Fast lube 
operators and service technicians can use Castrol SYNTEC POWER SYSTEM with 
customers who complain that their car or truck doesn't have the pickup that 
it used to or who want to boost their engines' overall performance.  
Castrol's premium fuel system treatment also helps to stop engine knock, 
reduce emissions, increase gas mileage, and eliminate the need for higher 
octane gas.

Because unburned gasoline decomposes in the fuel system each time an engine 
is driven, professionals can recommend that their customers have a fuel 
system treatment done every 3,000 miles concurrent with their scheduled oil 
change.  This helps prevent today's high technology, knock-sensored engines 
from "de-tuning" themselves as a result of deposit buildup.  Castrol SYNTEC 
POWER SYSTEM's unique synthetic cleansers clean and prevent deposit build-up 
better than ordinary cleansers and are proven in laboratory testing to 
reverse "engine de-tune", which causes engines to experience hesitation, 
stalling, sluggishness and poor acceleration.

Castrol SYNTEC POWER SYSTEM PROFESSIONAL is only available through Castrol 
distributors.  Call 1-888-CASTROL for more information.

Castrol markets leadership brands Castrol GTX, Castrol SYNTEC and Castrol 
SYNTEC BLEND, in the conventional, full synthetic and synthetic blend 
lubricant product segments, respectively.  Castrol also maintains a 
leadership position in the automotive chemical market via the Castrol Super 
Clean line of cleaners.  In addition, Castrol participates in various motor 
sports programs, sponsoring eight-time NHRA champion John Force.  Castrol has 
partnerships with the National Basketball Association (NBA), National 
Football League (NFL), and World Wrestling Federation (WWF).  For more 
information on how to buy Castrol direct, call 1-888-CASTROL.
